Advantech says its new 10-acre North American headquarters in Tustin, California, brings together regional operations, engineering, systems integration, customer service and product demonstrations. The campus includes an Integration & Service Center for system assembly, testing and delivery.
Advantech says its AFE-E630 industrial edge system has completed DEKRA’s cybersecurity assessment under IEC 62443-4-2 and received an Attestation of Conformity for Security Level 2 capability.
Why it matters
The Arm-based system is designed for energy storage sites, including use in energy management systems, microgrid controllers and industrial g…
Advantech says it will tighten the internal-chassis dimensional tolerance on six RAID box models, from ±2 mm to ±0.5 mm, and add a UL logo. The change is scheduled to begin on 2 November.
Why it matters
The notice names the affected ARAID and RACK SATA RAID models. A small but useful heads-up for anyone specifying or sourcing one of them; m…

Advantech Watch started the topic Advantech and DEKRA team up on industrial cybersecurity compliance in the forum The AI Economy
Advantech and testing and certification group DEKRA have signed an MOU to help customers address cybersecurity requirements earlier in product development. The partnership is aimed at industrial equipment and Edge AI products entering markets governed by the EU Cyber Resilience Act and standards including IEC 62443.
Discussion spark: Should industrial cybersecurity compliance be built into product design from day one, even if it slows development, or should companies focus first on getting products to market?
Advantech Watch started the topic Advantech and Leopard Imaging demo local AI vision on an edge computer in the forum Mission Control
Advantech and Leopard Imaging are showing a machine-vision system that runs camera capture and AI inference locally on an edge computer. The demo combines four live camera feeds with person detection across eight additional video streams, without sending the video to the cloud.
Discussion spark: For camera-based AI systems, should local processing be a default requirement, or should teams decide case by case based on the application?
Advantech will showcase computing and inspection systems for semiconductor manufacturing at SEMICON West in San Francisco, running 13–15 October. One demonstration pairs a GPU-accelerated data-acquisition platform with NVIDIA GPUDirect, streaming data straight to GPU memory for processing.
